Measuring disabilities One billion are PWDs which is 15% of total population (World
Bank, 2010) Two hundred million are having severe disabilities (WB) World Health Survey (2004) says around 785 million (15.6%)
persons 15 years and older live with a disability, while the Global Burden of Disease estimates a figure of around 975 million (19.4%) persons.
World Health Survey estimates that 110 million people (2.2%) have very significant difficulties in functioning, while the Global Burden of Disease estimates that 190 million (3.8%) have “severe disability” – the equivalent of disability inferred for conditions such as quadriplegia, severe depression, or blindness.
